Add Volume for Subtle Facial Rejuvenation and More in Dallas
Sculptra® from the Dallas area’s Dr. Ellen Turner is a volume-adding treatment that requires no incisions or sutures. This makes it ideal for anyone who wants to restore volume to refine facial contours and reduce deep facial wrinkles, or enhance other areas of the body, but who also wants to avoid the risks and recovery related to surgery. It’s commonly used to soften or define facial contours and treat signs of aging.
Sculptra® can give you a firmer, more toned, and volumized look, targeting the specific areas you would like to enhance. It is commonly used for treating nasolabial folds, fine lines and wrinkles on the mid-face, hollows in the temples, sunken cheeks, wrinkled chins, and recessed jawlines.
As a dermatologist, Dr. Turner has used Sculptra® for years, since the injectable is ideal for smoothing out facial lines and reducing the appearance of crepey skin on the knees. Sculptra® is versatile enough to handle small cosmetic corrections to the face as well as larger additions of volume, making it a brand of choice for various areas beyond the face, such as the décolletage, arms, above the knees, hip dips, and buttocks. It can improve textural irregularities in these areas and create a smoother silhouette.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?
Individuals looking to restore lost facial volume and improve skin texture without surgery are often good candidates for Sculptra®. It’s ideal for those experiencing mild to moderate volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, or jawline, and who want gradual, natural-looking results. Patients should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and seek a treatment that stimulates their body’s own collagen production for long-lasting improvement.
In addition to facial rejuvenation, many patients also seek treatments for other areas of the body. Sagging in the buttocks often follows significant weight loss, pregnancy, or consistent physical activity like yoga or cardio. This can leave the area looking flat or deflated, especially when the skin struggles to adjust to reduced volume.
Patients looking to enhance the size or shape of their buttocks—whether to restore volume lost from weight changes or to achieve a more lifted, rounded look—may also be ideal candidates for Sculptra®. Dr. Turner and her team assess each patient’s body type, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals to determine if this non-surgical option is right for them. For best results, patients should be at or near a stable weight before treatment.
Sculptra® for butt augmentation, also known as a Sculptra® butt lift, is especially popular among lean individuals or those who prefer to avoid surgery. Unlike implants or invasive procedures, Sculptra® offers a gradual, natural-looking enhancement with minimal downtime, fewer risks, and no permanent commitment.
How Does Sculptra® Work?
Sculptra®’s active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid, which is polymerized to give the resulting gel its beneficial properties. In addition to providing volume of its own, the formula stimulates the growth of fresh collagen, a protein that adds further volume and provides structure.
Collagen is important for many reasons. Not only does it add “bulk” where needed, but it also serves as a framework that houses hyaluronic acid molecules, which are carbohydrates known for their ability to bind with water molecules. More hyaluronic acid means skin that is well hydrated and pliant, creating a softer look and feel. Since hyaluronic acid and collagen levels in the skin drop over time due to the effects of an aging body, replenishing these molecules–or at least giving them a boost in a key area–can go a long way to making a positive visual difference.
Sculptra® manufacturer Galderma reported that people tend to lose about 1 percent of their collagen per year after they turn 18. That means the valuable molecule is already starting to dwindle as soon as you reach the age of adulthood.
Sculptra® for Butt Augmentation
Patients who want a curvier silhouette with a more prominent backside have a non-surgical option in butt augmentation with Sculptra®. Unlike some dermal fillers that have a single function, Sculptra® accomplishes butt augmentation in two ways:
Physically adding volume is a major component of the augmentation treatment. Think of it like blowing up a balloon. By introducing more air, the skin of the balloon expands and grows rounder. The buttocks are essentially the same: By introducing Sculptra®, which is a watery liquid, the buttocks grow rounder. In cases where natural volume loss has led to a deflated look for the buttocks, the restored volume can make the skin more taut and firm.
Disclaimer: Viewer discretion advised. Results may vary.
Dr. Ellen Turner uses a cannula to administer Sculptra® for butt augmentation at her Dallas practice. Approaching the area from different directions allows the injector to create a shapely, natural, rounded look. The poly-L-lactic acid-based filler adds volume and encourages new collagen to grow.®
When Sculptra® is used for facial rejuvenation, some temporary volume may be seen right away, but it may take up to a month for your skin to appear fuller and plumper, since collagen regrowth is a gradual process.
Similarly, some new volume is generally visible right after its injection for butt augmentation, but the full results of this treatment are typically not achieved until five, 10, or even 15 vials of Sculptra® have been injected—a process that plays out over a span of months. Throughout this time, the results are further enhanced as new collagen is created in the skin.
Patients can expect results from Sculptra® injections for the face and body to last for years, then to eventually diminish on their own.
Anyone who wants to know the best way to maintain optimal results from Sculptra® can talk to Dr. Turner to learn about what to expect in the years to come and when a new round of treatments may be appropriate. With proper planning, many patients can enjoy an enhanced appearance for as long as they’d like.
Since each Sculptra® patient is different, the cost of a treatment is best discussed during a consultation, when Dr. Turner can assess the unique aspects of the case and determine the projected number of injections to be used. Ask about a Sculptra® consultation by reaching out online or calling (214) 373-7546.
Men and women who prefer less volume to more can reduce fat in specific areas with non-invasive BTL Aesthetics technologies, including EMFACE™ for sculpting the face and Emsculpt Neo® for body contouring. These treatments simultaneously tone muscles and eliminate fat in a single treatment. Whether you want to go larger or smaller, there is an option for you.
Sagging on the face and body can be addressed in a number of ways. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound energy to tighten skin on the forehead, chin, and neck. Silhouette InstaLift™ employs special threads inserted into the midface to address sagging there. Restylane® Lyft, a dermal filler like Sculptra®, but in the Restylane® family, adds hyaluronic acid-based volume to fill in hollows in the cheeks for rounder contours there and a subtle lift lower down, where jowls tend to form as tissue is gradually pulled downward by gravity.
Dr. Turner will help each person who comes to her Dallas-based dermatology office determine their best options for getting the look they want.
